    @SledDriver yes, all planes are drones here

    @TheKraken3 I did calculate the acceleration for one of my builds once, and it came out around 64 Gs. The highest G-forces ever survived (in a test, at least) were about 46 Gs. 64 Gs would probably liquify a person. But luckily we don't need to worry about that in SimplePlanes.

    You know how when you speed up in a car your body goes back in your seat?
    Imagine what happens to this pilot when they crank up the throttle and instantly go from on the ground to 2000 mph

    Good plane.

    @robloxweponco Any build that's posted on SP is open source by design, which means that when someone uploads something they're explicitly giving their consent for people to do with it what they please. So yes, feel free to use any concept you learn from reverse engineering my builds, or to modify them in any way you like. Gentlemen will give credit where credit is due.

    So i reverse engineered your flexible wings, is it ok if i use my version in my builds? And is it ok if i imitate your flex wing ( the plane) for my first plane to take advantage of these flexible wings? Im still getting the hang of these and i havent figured out how to make varied thickness yet, like smoothing out to a point (LAST REQUEST I PROMISE)

    sorry that came out wrong, but yes exactly what you said. I mean you discover it so you want to see how far you can go with it, so you push the limits in a way. it’s a really cool and unique thing you discovered. @SledDriver

    @Zanedavid Not sure what you mean by "pushing." Isn't it normal, when you discover something new, to develop it as far as you can?

    Really like the “modern jet” look of this, and your really pushing the flexible wings aren’t you? I love them there so cool.

    @robloxweponco Well, if I ever come up with something like that, I'll post it.

    @Panzer828 Well, if you post the build I'll look at it tomorrow.

    @SledDriver it’s connected to the cannons and the rotator that’s it oh and the thrusters

    @SledDriver no, more like a jelly like wobble during turns

    @Panzer828 It's probably become attached to another part which is stationary. Check the connections and make sure it's only connected to the axle of the rotator. And in future, when working with complex builds, never, ever attach two subassemblies by dragging them closer together.

    @SledDriver I’m trying to make the gun rotate by using VTOL engines but for some reason it isn’t rotating anymore

    @robloxweponco Like this, you mean?

    @Panzer828 Sure. If you reduce the max of an engine, it will use proportionately less fuel. I.e., if you set max to 0.25, it'll only use 25% of its normal fuel usage at a given throttle setting. This will also reduce the power output, though, so you'll probably want to increase the powerMultiplier to compensate.

    Another side benefit of reducing max is that the engines become quieter.

    @SledDriver is there Way I can change the fuel usage of engines?

    I know you work on many things a once but heres an idea: a jelly aircraft that uses variable geometry to wobble in flight

    @TheBruh007 Well, the file timestamp shows me that the first version of this was created on Feb 29. But I work on multiple things at the same time, so I couldn't tell you even roughly how much time I spent on this.
